Aside from a brief press release by Archos last year, this tablet phone gave us quite a tease with it’s specs: it was to pack a slimmer 4.3-inch touchscreen than the internet tablets, with a sharper 854×480 resolution, HSDPA, a 1GHz Arm processor, 3.5g enabled, and a thin, 10mm shell. It skipped out on the ball known as CES, and CEO Henri Crohas issued a caveat; that the device would never make it to market without the support of “two senior operators.” Well it seems this event has come to pass.
The initial was expected launch in the first quarter of this year, but things are starting to look somewhat grim. Either the goal of two carriers has not been met, or Archos is shelving production to concentrate on it’s other PC and Android tablets. We can always hope for the day that prototypes will start to leak out.

I like Archos. They come out some interesting products but they are also dumber then crap sometimes. They have a very small following because they refuse to offer support for their older products. Then there is this huge flop. Everyone was drooling over this phone’s specs but we will never see it because Archos did not have the foresight to realize that cell phone companies were not going to be willing to change their whole system for one phone. Archos should just pull it head out of its ass and sell open source GSM or CDMA phone or just make the phone GSM or CDMA so that someone can use.
